The TrustED concept was conceived in 2017 in Adelaide, Australia when founder Kosta Batzavalis was put under the burden of having to find the paper copies of his academic credentials he received several years ago and present them to potential employers. From here on in, the concept of digitalizing academic credentials become apparent, and through innovative blockchain technology the TrustED concept poised to revolutionize the way we receive, share and verify our academic credentials. TrustED expanded significantly in the first 6 months, partnering with Californias NetObjex and Dubai’s BlockGemini to produce an all in one solution which enables academic institutions to store and issue academic credentials, students to digitally hold and share their academic credentials, and employers and other verifying third parties to instantly verify ones academic credentials.
